PC Gamer’s hardware team says GTA 6’s 26-minute gameplay showcase demonstrates impressive visual detail on the base PlayStation 5, but also highlights compromises that make a future PC version appealing. The writers point to choppy motion, heavy-looking upscaling, hard shadows and limited ray-traced effects, arguing that more powerful PCs could improve image quality, lighting and frame rates.

The preview appears to run at 30fps on the seven-year-old console, with occasional slowdown and shimmering or blurred edges. The team speculates that a PC release could use technologies such as DLSS, FSR and frame generation, alongside stronger ray tracing or path tracing, though Rockstar has not announced a PC release date or confirmed these features.
